(20,776 posts)The government of Japan. Perhaps, like us, they have more than a few corrupted representatives. I don't blame the entire population for Japan's whaling atrocities. Even my dad, as a kid, was forced to eat whale meat from a can, that was served at his school. Notice I used the word "forced". He told me all his life, he felt like he could never get that foul taste out of his mouth..
There are not a lot of people who love or crave whale meat in Japan. Yet, like the Tobacco companies were here, they are probably a powerful group who can influence the government. I am glad they are losing money.. maybe people there will start to stand up and say we don't want this any more. Please stop!
I have talked with many of my Japanese friends on line. I have asked them about this..and many say, that it needs to stop as well. Whale meat is just not that necessary to feeding the people of Japan. And...as for the taste.. if you could see the sour look on my father's face.. He would never "want to eat that crap again." (His words,not mine.)
